A MEDIUM EXPOSED.
Another SpirituaIistic Fraud Get
a Decided Setback

Another SDIFItuaIIStIC FRAUD GetS
aDecided Setback.
Boston, Nov. 19.-One of the most
promising Undertaking. mediums in
town for long time has been Mrs. Her
man B. Fay, who has given public
SeanceS regularly in fine house at 62
West Newton street. Yesterday after
noon the Record sent a party of ten
young men and two young women to
one of her SeanceS to test the genuine
ness of her SpiritualiStic manifestations.
The visitors found fifteen others pres
ent, most of them men. Daylight was
shut out of the room where the Seance
was given by heavy draperies. In one
corner was the cabinet and opposite it
were about thirty chairs for visitors, ar
ranged in a semi-circle. A pale,
dreamy-lOOking woman played on
cabinet organ. Mrs. Fay is of
medium height, and is strong,
athletic appearing woman. After
announcing her rules and collect
ing dollar head from each person
present, the Seance was begun. A fig
ure in white emerged from the cabinet
at three different times and beckOned to
persons in the room to come into the
cabinet, where they were greeted by al
The figure appeared fourth time, and
evidently being convinced that it had
sympathetic audience, ventured far
down the room. 1t appeared as gypsy
girl, with long hair flowing down her
back. Advancing boldly, it paused in
front of one of the investigators and
cOnfdingly stretched forth both hands.
Like flash the man claSped them in a
strong grasp and calculated: Now"
instantly a man ignited a bunch of
matches and the chandelier was a blaze
of light. Other hands stripped away
the curtains and the suns rays flooded
the room. In the center of the room,
directly under the blaze of the chande-
lier, struggling, fighting, scratchinglike a
tigreSS i'll the grasp of four strong
men, who had all they could do to hold
her, was Mrs. Herman Fay. She had said
that the form would not be hers, but

piece of cheap cotton gauZe about four
yards long and two and-a-half yards
wide. Capt. Dixon, the master of cere-
monies, who attempted to rescue Mrs.
Fay, was grabbed around the neck by
another athletic young man. He
struggled vigorously and shouted /:
"D-n you, let me gO;" but he was held
in firm clasp. A pair of shoes found
in the cabinet were composed of three
pieces of cork nailed together, one on
top of the other. and having a strap TO
faSten them 10 Mrs. Fay's feet. When
she represented tall figures she put
these on her feet. Loud demands for
their money were made by the unbe-
ievers, and Capt. Dixon was compelled
to shell out 81 to all who demanded it.
The exposure was complete.

OF subsequent proceedings the boys
told by Lucas. He says when he got
outside he saw several Shadowy forms
across the street and he made in their
direction. They were evidently the fell
lows interested in the tic-tack, for they
ran into lumber yard. Lucas followed
in hot pursuit and caught one of them,
who proved to be no friend of his, and
there was an interesting song and dance
between the two that lasted for about
fifteen minutes, in which the hOodlum,
according to Lucas story, got the worst
of the deal. If this is true, he must have
looked like useless hen-cOOp, for when
Lucas came into the room and Saluted
